Chuck Schumer calls flight attendant ‘Bitch’

George JoycePolitico is reporting that Sen. Chuck Schumer, (D-NY), called a US Airways flight attendant a “Bitch” Sunday after a dispute regarding cell phone use prior to take-off.

According to a GOP aide on the same flight from New York to Washington, the flight attendant approached Schumer after he and fellow Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) continued talking on their cell phones after an announcement requested passengers to turn off the devices.

When Schumer’s request to continue his phone conversation was denied by the flight attendant, he turned off his phone and began to argue with her about the rules. Schumer persisted even after, according to the Politico report, the flight attendant had mentioned that “the entire plane was waiting on him to shut down his phone.”

The flight attendant reminded Schumer that she was only following the rules and then left. According to the GOP aide Schumer then leaned over to Sen. Gillibrand and called the flight attendant a “Bitch.”

Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Sen. Schumer, said later that “[t]he senator made an off-the-cuff comment under his breath that he shouldn’t have made, and he regrets it.”

Wow. Back when I was a more active PUMA, I can recall several New Yorkers telling me how great Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)…Strong, outspoken, “a great woman to have represent us”. It is sad to say that her silence during Sen. Schumer’s “bitch” remark disappoints me. I have yet to see Senator Gillibrand actually live up the the good “take one for the girls” reputation that my PUMA sisters have bestowed upon her. Of course Schumer’s “bitch” slip-up has earned him a huge Christmas stocking filled with mainstream media and liberal feminists crickets.

While browsing the comments on a HuffPo article about this incident, some liberals actually bashed the GOP aide who “leaked” the story, others exclaimed that they were disappointed in Schumer because they admired him so as a supporter of women. Gee, that sounds familiar…. You mean like Barack Obama being hailed by the left as a feminist while demeaning Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail??? Okay whatever works for you.

My favorite is this comment on the Chicago Tribune version of the story. They compare this incident to Obama and the Cambridge police debacle. They claim to want to know the details. Schumer called the flight attendant a bitch. Is there really much else to know? Skip Gates was not called a “nigger” or a “boy”. The situations are not remotely the same in my book but you be the judge.

…On the surface, it appears that Schumer showed his arrogance…showed that he is above the law…showed his lack of professionalism….showed his lack of character.

As for the flight attendant…some stewardess (excuse me, flight attendants) act like they are God. The way to deal with them is to avoid any encounter. Just do what they say. And they know this…they know they have the power. So they act like the b word. Remember the incident between Victoria Osteen and Sandra Brown, the stewardess (excuse me, flight attendant), which was later proven that the stewardess (excuse me, the flight attendant) had previous similar modus operandi? Well, if this was not Victoria Osteen, this stewardess (excuse me, flight attendant) would have gotten away again with murder.

Knowing that some stewardess (excuse me, flight attendants) can be jerks themselves, it would be inappropriate to put all the blame on Schumer.

I don’t like Schumer. But to be a good judge, one cannot condemn Schumer, without knowing what happened exactly.

Don’t pull an obama, who admitted that he did not know the details, but yet concluded that Cambridge police department acted stupidly.

Oprah Winfrey Show Reaches out to Tiger Woods

December 17, 2009

By Fred Mitchell

When Tiger Woods appeared as a guest on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” with his father on April 30, 1998, he was reduced to tears.

I was in the audience that day when Woods and his father, Earl, promoted the book I co-authored called “Playing Through.” Almost 12 years later, the show has asked Woods to return to the set in Chicago to face a national television audience and address his admitted acts of infidelity.

Meanwhile, several media outlets quoted unnamed sources saying that Woods’ wife, Elin, will be filing for divorce in the wake of his confessed infidelity.

“Divorce is 100 percent,” one source told ABC News. “She’s not rushing to divorce. … She wants all the dirty laundry to be out on the table before she signs anything.”

In the wake of this personal turmoil, if Woods were to shed a few tears on “Oprah,” his public image likely would improve.

“We have reached out to Tiger Woods’ representatives, but nothing is confirmed,” a representative from Harpo Productions said Wednesday.

In the spring of ’98, Earl penned some special advice in “Playing Through” that was directed specifically to his son. Earl passed away in May 2006.

As Winfrey read the affectionate “Letter to my Son” from the book signed “Pop,” Woods broke down in tears.

Gov. Sarah Palin was not good enough for Oprah's couch yet Tiger Woods is. I hope Oprah covers it with plastic. Who knows what "cheetah" will do on that couch.

Poor “cheetah” now just like Chris Brown who beat up singer Rhianna we all have to rally at his side. Oprah is a bastion of feminism. This is a woman who refused to afford Sarah Palin a visit on her Emmy award winning “couch’ while campaigning “silently” for Barack Obama. Who would have thought that the world’s greatest talk show hostess with the free car under your seat and mostess, a survivor of sexual abuse and discrimination against African Americans and women would dislike a woman like Sarah Palin enough to actually sit on stage with Tina “sometimes I am a feminist for Hillary Clinton. Sometimes I am a cheerleader for the destruction of free political choice among women. Sometimes I just like to pose on magazine covers wearing little to cover my bony ass” Fey chatting it up and laughing about Palin’s unique accent.

Now Tiger “cheetah” Woods will possibly get a shoulder to cry on in front of a national audience thanks to Oprah Winfrey. She would not give Sarah Palin a platform on her show until she deemed it financially expedient to do so and of course her manger child Obama was safe in the White House. But “cheetah” sure..Americans need to hear him say it loud and proud…I made 18 hoes in one!!!
